Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.1 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.1 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.50 per match at 28.5, economy 4.62, strike rate 37.0.
